In France, Belgium and Holland, the breeders who strived to produce a very hard, strong dog who had the potential to become a future reproducer, use LUCAS. I purchased Nack in France, who has Lucas on his pedigree multiple times. I started training Nack Jan 2, 2006. I used some very hard methods to obtain the cessation (out). Many dogs would not bite anymore, but Nack always bites full, pushes forward, with extreme pressure. So much pressure I had to build special pants to protect my decoy. After having worked this dog, I quickly understood he is not a dog for high level competition, ie not a points dog. He is however an exceptional dog for breeding, the best I have seen in the United States at this time. malinois, french ring, philippe belloni, contes d'hoffmann, frenchtrainer.com
